If it were my bike, and i dropped it off for winter storage, i gotta believe i would of noticed a ticking noise before i dropped it off ? I have never owned a Harley that did not make a little top end [ sewing machine] noise. Is it possible your Harley shop is trying to drum up a little business during the slow winter months ? Having not heard your " ticking noise" myself, i certainly cannot rule out you could have an issue with it BUT, i would not rule out the possibility your dealer is looking to make a buck?
How many miles on your bike ?
Has it been making unusual noises recently ? Its your bike and you would know better than anyone else.
Is your bike under warranty ?

If its at the dealer, anything they do will end up costing about $1000. But I agree with what the others have said...there may be nothing wrong. You need to go to the dealer and listen to the bike. If they have another 01 in the shop, (or any bike similar to yours, with similar engine mods....if any) have a listen to that for comparison.
